Event Description

Spend Labor Day with us at NJYP's 5th Annual Labor Day Picnic! Expect tons of fresh food and cold beers, softball and kickball games, sun, fun, and around 100 young professionals who are ready to make friends!

Here are the Memorial Day ’11 Pics at the same park, http://www.njyp.org/photo/albums/memorial-day-picnic-may-2011 Over 100 members attended and we played hard all day long!

You can find pricing info on this ticket page.

Play:
Please bring all of the softball equipment you have because we will be sharing. Kickballs, a wiffle ball set, frisbees, and water guns, are also encouraged.

Relax:
Bring blankets, beach chairs, music. Don’t forget sunblock and sunglasses.

Consume (this is important so please read):
At this event everyone is expected to bring something to share! We will set up “shared food and drink” tables. If everyone brings a little it ends up working out great. When you buy your ticket let us know what you will be bringing.
* Think pasta salad, homemade salsa, fruit salad, hummus, brownies, cookies, cake, etc.
* We will also need burgers, hotdogs, veggie burgers, and buns. IF YOU ARE BRINGING MEAT, IT MUST BE ON ICE (think cooler and ice packs or loose ice)
* Bring charcoal, lighter fluid, ice, plates, soda, water by the gallon.
* We bought an alcohol permit so BYOB.
* Bring forks, spoons, knives, napkins, and aluminum foil (all leftovers will be used at the Labor Day Picnic).

Go GREEN!
Please bring a reusable water bottle that has your name on it.
Expect to recycle! We’ll set up a recycling center for glass, plastic, aluminum, etc.

Rain:
Heavy/consistent rain will cancel this event and tickets will be refunded if it is canceled. Otherwise, all SALES ARE FINAL.

Directions:
Using Google Maps, look up this address 480 South St, Morristown, NJ 07960.
Or use the park map http://njyperks.com/Loantaka-Map.gif and look for the South Street Recreational Area. If the lot is full you will have to find another lot and walk over. Perhaps print the map out so you can navigate around the park and please try to carpool.
Do not park illegally or they will tow your car.

Comment by frank on September 4, 2011 at 5:24pm: Do we need more of any specific item or do we tend to run out of anything?

Comment by Larry on September 4, 2011 at 3:56pm: anyone else have a chimney lighter? it removes need for lighter fluid, which can "flavor" the food.

Comment by Brian and Mike on September 4, 2011 at 3:29pm: Just like Kristen said. Just keep the dog leashed :)

Comment by Adrianne on September 4, 2011 at 10:54am: Is this event dog friendly?

Comment by Paul on September 4, 2011 at 4:28am: Has anyone been to the park since the hurricane and know if the fields are dried out enough for a game?

Comment by Lisa E on August 1, 2011 at 10:36pm: Hey Grillmaster KH!! I've got a cooler... I'll bring it for ya :)

Comment by Kevin Haughwout on August 1, 2011 at 6:30pm: Can someone help your friendly grillmasters and bring another cooler or two? We always end up short!

And yes, I'll be grilling again. I find it's the best way to make new friends...
